The low cunning and murderous intent of the Chicago police authori- ties was but thinly disguised in the report sent broadcast through Gould's Associated Press that one of the seven convicted anarchists had secreted in his cell 9 box of contain ing six dynamite bombs. This pre- posterous story was printed with the "rider" that now surely the prison- CTS would net escape the gallows.
 When one considers that 1t was sim ply impossible for the prisoners to receive anything into their cells, except through the hands of prison officials selected for the purpose, and that none but prison officials had ac- cess to the cells, there remains but the single theory, viz: that if there were any bombs found in Lingg's cell, they were placed there by some one who had access thereto, and for

"If rent were reduced S2 a month, we should all be as well off with $2 month less wages. Certainly no worse off,
 The above piece of profound reas- oning is particularly convincing con- ing as it does from an anarchist of the peaceful kind, Jo. Labadie, De- troit. And he may be sure that if the wage-worker could live on less potatoes and less pork, he would be as well off on a correspondingly less income. And further, he would be tolerably sure to get less wages. Why? Because competition would screw wages down to the liying-the eXlsting-point.

themselves out as tools to the upper and commercial classes. It is often said by many ardent Socialists that policemen would, in the event of any popular movement on the part of the people, eventually side with them in their struggle. The events of the last few days must open the eyes of such optmists. Discontented at having to do extra duty without extra pay, the Constables, instead Of summoning up courage to ask their superio S for extra remuneration, they vent their vindictiveness and spite on the poor unotfending victims of society, whose presence in large numbers both shame and scare the blue blooded classes. Comrade Old- land, who was seized and taken to the station by half-a-dozen police men, had to stand for half,an-h hour, while the six held a confab as to who should charge him, for neither of them saw him commit any illegal act, but they were quite satisfied that he was leader, and q charge could be made afterwards. There is, of course, nothing unusual in the procedure to Social Democrats, but one might imagine, as the police themselves were once numbered among the unemployed and had to join the force to escape starvation, they would take any opportunity to express their sympathy with those who pluckily endeavor to force so- cicty to recognize their wrongs - L1ml0n JNSticc.

The ,Scientjfc 1mrican says that thousand barrels of flour, the an- nual ration of of a thousand per sons, can be placed in New York from point 2,000 miles away by the labor of onI y four men, and three more can bake and distribute 1t. Seven men can therefore fur nlsh bread for thousand. In other fields of industry machinery is doing much the same thing. Then why is this not a land of plenty for every body? Because the distributing machine, money, is defective. It belongs to the old era of production and is only sufficient for the old or der of things. Ability to produce where there is inability to buy makes want go hand in hand with abundance, Where seven can feed, and seven clothe and seven house thousand, the thousand ought to have an easy time, but precisely be- cause seven men can do this, the thousand, under our vicious system of economics, have a hard time. - Hinsted Press.

There is no branch of the stock industry

better than rearing horses. Farmers may
come in for their share of profits in this
industry if they will but exercise common
senst There are enough trotters; re-
member this and leave their rearing and
training to professional breeders. The
farmers opportunity lies in the production
of good, serviceable animals, which will
sell at a remunerative price, Such horses
always pay, and there is not half the risk
in raising these there is with the lighter
and more nervous trotters 1t is only
about one trotter in 500 that amounts to
anything-at least that makes a sufficient
ly good record to pay for his trouble and
brings big sum extra. When trOtter
falls below certain standard he is the
most valueless of horses to own.
There is always a ready sale for half
bred percherons, as is there indeed for
any good shaped horse that will weigh
from 200 to 1000 pounds The quick
stepping ones prove excellent coachers and
are in demand as carriage teams, while the
more clumsy, slow going animals prove
valuable as cart and truck horses.

which gives 1921 as the cost of 100
pounds of the mixture, or if any or all
the materials can be purchased at lower
figures, the cost of the compound will
be proportionately less.
On the subject of how to feed ground
rations, Professor Arnold says that there
is no advantage in simply wetting ground
feed to give to cattle. at is quite as well
for them to eat it dry, and it is better to
feed it so in winter, unless it can be fed
warm. When the weather is suitable
there is some advantage in wetting the
hay or straw to he fed, and mixing the
ground feed with it, Fed in this way the
meal and coarse fodder go into the first
stomach, or rumen, together, and all are
remastcated. If the meal is fed alone, il
is liable to miss the first stomach and &c
directly into the third or fourth stomach,
when it is not chewed over again, and
hence it is not digested as soon or as well.
One pound of the mixed food for each loo

would be suitable ration for mich cows

A. Oemler in some very sound advice
given to truck farmers of the south,
furnishes directions that may be safely
followed in any locality where vegetable
and strawberry plants are grown. Fol
lowing are some of his suggestions: In
transplanting such plants as the straw
berry, the 1ibrous roots should be opened
out as much as possible, while the root of
the tap rooted plant, as the cabbage, beet,
ETC., should be placed regularly up and
down and not bent upon itself If such
root is BENT the nutrtive matter in de-
scending from the boxes will be inter-
rupted at the bend, and new rootlets will
be slow to appear beyond it. In trans
planting, the soil ought to be uniformly,
but not harshly, pressed to the roots their
entire length, from the extreme lower
point upward.
With the exception of asparagus, horse
radish onions and such plants as emit
new roots along the lower portion of the
stem, as tomatoes, cabbage, etc, it is
q safe rule to put down the plant to the
depth of which it originally grew. In
sandy soil it sometimes becomes necessary,
iPa drought, during an entire transplant
ing season, to water the plants after they
are set out. In this case the watered
surface should be covered with dry soil to
prevent baking.
In loose, fine, light soil, free from sticks
stones, pebbles etc, the hand alone is
often used in transplanting on a small
scale, but either the planting stick or
dibble, or the trowel, is preferable. The
trowel is the safer implement in the
hands of an unskilled workman. In using
the dibble, it is thurst into the soil to
at least the full depth at which the plant

by rotary motion of the implement.
To insert the plant properly, it is held
between the thumb and the index finger
of the left hand, and thus placed in the
hole; the dibble is then plunged into the
ground two or three inches from the plant,
in direction with its point toward and u
little below the end of the root The en-
craving, taken from Truck Farming,
shows the hole made by the dibble with
the root of the plant within it. The dib-
BILE is thrust into the ground, ready to fix
the root in place, by using the point (a) as
fulcrum and moving the handle of the
dibble from b to the soil will be pressed
to the root for its entire length from to
c. If this be done with sufficient force, it
will fix the delicate plant firmly in the
soil. If, on the other hand the dibble is
inserted perpendicularly or parallel with
the plant instead of at an angle, or if it be
partly withdrawn before the movement
from b to is completed, the soil
will only be pressed to the root at the top,
leaving it's more important part loosely
suspended in an open excavation of the
soil.
Planting proceeds most conveniently
from left to right. When the trowel is
employed the operation is the same, ex-
cept that the implement is inserted in
front of the plant instead of at its side.

crop north of 40 degrees. But south Of
this, even to Florida and Texas, it flour
